Abstract

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) represent a promising technology to support the energy transition in the electricity grid. BESS can offer different types of services to the electricity grid among which the following stand out: power smoothing of renewable sources generation, energy arbitrage and provisions of ancillary services, such as voltage and frequency regulation. In this context, many countries, such as the United States, have already defined regulatory frameworks to ensure the BESS dissemination in the electricity grid. However, the Brazilian normative regulation regarding the BESS installation and operation is still in an initial state, which does not guarantee legal assurance for investments in the sector. This paper presents the business models and the regulatory and tax challenges that must be overcome to incentive the use of BESS in Brazil.
